Vikings!

"Feels like you're dying" they said? Pah, I say to them. This is what it feels like to be living.

Rafting on the Nile was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. This might, by itself, be reason enough to come back to Uganda.

We're talking about fighting with the forces of nature to stay inside the raft as it crashes from side to side by massive waves. Getting our vessel overturned and blindly aiming to swim back to it with water in our eyes. Rushing down a waterfall face-first. Enjoying the bliss of paddling in the sun in still waters between rapids - with the vast Nile scenery surrounding us.

Poseidon, this the best you got? Bring it!
